What is parapsychology
Humans have long experienced unusual phenomena, including alleged clairvoyance, UFO abduction and astral projection. This branch of psychology investigates these experiences through academic enquiry and investigates whether there are psychological explanations for these experiences.
Mode of Delivery
Asynchronous lectures, reading materials and extensive resources are shared on our Moodle platform to which you will be granted access. The course is delivered entirely online, under the guidance of our expert lecturers and academic staff. The academic year begins in September but you can also enter the programme in January.
What do you study
Broadly similar to Master's level of study, there is one 30 credit module to introduce you to this fascinating area of psychological study, followed by six compulsory 15 credit modules which look at specific areas in much greater detail. The course is completed with a 60 credit dissertation or research project.
Cost
Each 15 credit module is £200, with a 30 credit module costing £400. This includes everything for the module, with no hidden cost. The entire programme therefore costs £4800, but you can study a module at a time and exit the programme when you wish. You will receive a certificate for each module, and a certificate of completion should you exit early which summarises the extent of your study.
